YouTube is limiting live streaming from its native mobile app to channels with a minimum of one thousand subscribers. But that doesn’t mean you can’t go live from mobile to YouTube regardless of your subscriber count. Here are some of the best options for streaming to YouTube Live from mobile.

Ross Brand with your Livestream Universe Update. Wirecast 12 is available. It’s the latest version of the award-winning live video production software. And it contains some cool new features, including a QR Code Generator for sharing webpage links rather than posting text of urls that aren’t clickable.
Wirecast 12 also includes Stinger Transitions — brief motion graphics or animations you can insert between shots. And Facebook Live polls — setup them up easily in Wirecast and they appear on screen for Facebook viewers to click and vote. Learn more about these and other features in Wirecast 12 — and get a free 30-day trial of the software — at LivestreamUniverse.com/Resources.

Ross Brand with your Livestream Universe Update. Today we look at another strong candidate for best microphone under $100.

The Sennheiser e835 is dynamic, cardioid vocal microphone that is designed for on-stage use. That means it will reject noise from other speakers or band members in live or recording environments. For hosting a remote livestream or podcast, or conducting interviews at events, the e835 enables the speaker to cut through the background noise.

At $99, the e835 is also a good option as a primary host or guest mic for anyone looking for an affordable solution. While the Shure SM7B remains my studio broadcast mic of choice, I will be taking the e835 with me to events and other broadcasting environments outside the studio. It’s a durable mic that sounds good right of the box on many voices, making the Sennheiser e835 an excellent microphone for remote livestreams, mobile podcasts and on-stage speaking engagements.

VidSummit is launching it’s Virtual Pass website today. The event for video creators will be held next week in Los Angeles.

Featured speakers include Gary Vaynerchuk, Pete McKinnon, Shaun McBride aka Shonduras and many more of the top 1% of video influencers.
